After accepting a ride on a private plane, David finds himself stranded on an island that is uninhabited - with the exception of a psychotic hunter.

Guest Stars:
John Marley
Regis J. Cordic
Claire Malis
Steve Burns
Diana Muldaur

My Thoughts:
I enjoyed this one quite a bit... Sure I have seen the storyline on more then one occasion... but I liked how it was done here. Though he looked surprised... the hunter didn't freak when he first saw David change into The Hulk. I really didn't think that reaction fit. But still a good episode... Definitely enjoyed it.

Guest Stars:
Louise Sorel

My Thoughts:
Reading the plot for this one... I wasn't looking too forward to this episode. The storyline just didn't sound that interesting to me. While I do have a few movies on the subject... I was never too huge on the whole voodoo thing. So this one wasn't a favorite... but wasn't all that bad either. At least The Hulk got to go to Mardi Gras!

My Thoughts:
Pretty good episode here. Entertaining storyline... and I had to get a chuckle out of The Hulk in the department store... seeing a green female mannequin.. the look on The Hulks face said it all... "hmmmm... girlfriend for The Hulk!"

12. BROKEN IMAGE
Airdate: Jan. 4, 1980
David becomes the prey of a vengeful gang when he's mistaken for another man, but there's one thing these thugs didn't plan for – the Hulk.

Guest Stars:
Karen Carlson
John Reilly
Jed Mills
Chris Wallace
Erica Yohn

My Thoughts:
This is a good idea for a story. It gives more screen time to Bill Bixby since he is playing a double role. Plus we get to see McGee look him right in the face and think for a moment that Banner is still alive. Unfortunately the outcome of the episode just wasn't as good as I was expecting. It could have been done so much better. But instead we get no more then an average episode.

Stop the presses! Jack McGee's publisher forbids him to continue his search for the Hulk, so the ace reporter decides to take matters into his own hands.

Guest Stars:
Caroline Smith
Walter Brooke
Charles Thomas Murphy

My Thoughts:
This is a good episode. I did enjoy it. The story revolves more around Jack McGee then it does Banner and The Hulk. And that makes for a nice change of pace. Another thing this episode has is that it is also a clipshow... where we see clips of previous episode. Not a lot... but a few decent clips.

Guest Stars:
Judith Chapman

My Thoughts:
It is so wild when this happens. I haven't seen these episodes in years. And yet when this one came on I felt like I knew the opening 5 minutes so well... like I have just seen the episode not that long ago. But that is impossible. I can't remember the last time The Incredible Hulk aired on TV around here. Probably a good 25 years ago! This episode also has a familiar face in it. It has Robert Donner who played Exidor in Mork & Mindy. It's a good, entertaining episode.

This finishes off Disc 3 of Season 3. It is time to take a break from our Green Friend and for me to work on something different. Just no idea what yet.

She has a funny look on her face and said "At least he could have opened the doors first."
